kazslo Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Does anyone know if PPPD is installed with mandrake 9.2 ?? I need it to get my internet connection working, and when I downloaded it and tried to install it I kept getting errors during the make, but I think thats because I dont have gcc installed. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Welcome! Sure is. Open a terminal and do rpm -q ppp or search for ppp in the Software Mgr. As root you could also do urpmi ppp in a terminal to install if it's not. suse:~ # rpm -q ppp ppp-2.4.1-432 suse:~ # rpm -ql ppp /etc/pam.d/ppp /etc/ppp/chap-secrets /etc/ppp/filters /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/pap-secrets /etc/ppp/peers /etc/ppp/peers/ppp /etc/ppp/peers/pppoatm /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe-rp /etc/ppp/peers/pptp /usr/lib/pppd /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1 /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/minconn.so /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/passprompt.so /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/passwordfd.so /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoe.so /usr/sbin/chat /usr/sbin/pppd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdrift Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Is there a gui front end to the pppd client or are all connections to be made through a command line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Well.. kppp is the easiest to use, at least for me. It is not installed by default (which is a stupid decision by mandrake imo), but it's available in your installation disks. To install it, just type this command as root urpmi kdenetwork-kppp Or use mandrake control center -> software -> software -> install software and search for kppp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdrift Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 It seems I made a slight mistake in the function I was shooting for, I require a front end to create pptp connections to a MS vpn server. Any ideas? I've seen a few items online about rh9 but nothing concerning mdk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
